1 Select and download a Linux distribution to download. Your options are Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE and Yellow Dog. Ubuntu and Yellow Dog have better support for PS3 than OpenSUSE and Fedora. Links are provided in the first Resource.

2 Locate the boot loader included with your Linux distribution of choice and rename it to "otheros.bld" so the PS3 recognizes it. Your bootloader is either named "kboot" or "petitboot" followed by a version number.

Create a folder named "PS3" on the CD or Flash drive. Create another folder named "otheros" inside the "PS3" folder. These folder titles are case-sensitive--enter them exactly as they appear here.

4 Save the "bootloader.bld" file in the "otheros" folder. If you are using a CD, burn it now. See the second Resource on how to burn a CD using tools included in Windows.

5 Insert the Flash drive or CD into the PS3.

6 Go to the "Settings" column of the PS3 main menu, select "System Settings," then "Install Other OS." The PS3 then searches for and starts installing the boot loader from the Flash drive or CD.

7 From the "Settings" column again, select "System Settings," then "Default System." Choose "Other OS" from the options listed on the right.

8 Burn the .iso of your Linux distribution of choice to a CD, if you want to boot the PS3 from a CD. If you're using a Flash drive, see the third Resource on how to put a running Linux installation on a Flash drive.

9 Remove any disc already in the PS3 and turn it off.

10 Insert the CD or Flash drive. The Flash drive goes into one of the PS3's USB ports, located on the front face, in the bottom right-hand corner. If you insert a CD, the PS3 automatically turns on.

11 Turn on the PS3, if it hasn't turned itself on already. Select your Linux distribution from the boot loader menu to boot the PS3 from the Flash drive or CD.

<p>1. Use of pre-installed backup tools. Many computers have a
backup software installed when you buy (including Time Machine backup and
restore for Mac or Windows). These tools are designed to transfer files to
various media they create on the computer hard drive or external hard drive,
you can prevent a total loss of data is performed. When you open the utility,
follow the onscreen instructions to complete the backup. <br />
<p><br />
<p>2. Back up important files on a USB stick or Memory Stick.
Insert the stick into a USB port on your computer. Drag the selected files to
the disk icon on the desktop (Mac) or PC (Windows) will appear. Flash drives
and memory sticks are very mobile and can be stored in small spaces such as
basements. Although they generally do not have a capacity of more than a few
gigabytes (GB), they are large enough to store your important files. <br />
<p><br />
<p>3. Enter an external hard drive. These external hard drives
usually have a very large capacity and can therefore keep most or all files on
a disk. Connect the external hard drive via a USB port. You can drag and drop
files on your hard disk or use it as a means of backup using a backup utility
installed. <br />
<p><br />
<p>4. Burn your important files on a CD-R or DVD-R. an entire
hard disk backup can be many slices, so this option is ideal if you want large
media files or documents for easy access later. Insert the CD into the CD-ROM
and follow the instructions on the screen (for Windows and Mac) to back up and
store files. <br />
<p><br />
<p>5. Upload files for storage in the cloud. Services in the
Internet cloud storage (like Mozy and drop-down box) are great ways to backup
files to the internet access from any Internet enabled device. Important files
with sensitive information may only be attached to a back-up cloud services
such as Mozy. Clouds, Drop box is ideal for backing up photos, videos and other
files less sensitive.<br />

It's a good idea to regularly back up all important files on your computer to an external source to prevent data loss. Your iTunes music, videos and other digital downloads are stored in separate files within the iTunes folder. However, if you consolidate them into a single folder, it's easier to back them up to an external hard drive.

Launch iTunes. Go to the program's Preferences menu. Click the "Advanced" tab. Check the box next to "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" and click "OK." Click "File." Select "Library" and then "Organize Library." Check the box next to "Consolidate Files" and click "OK." Close iTunes. Connect your external hard drive to your computer. Find the iTunes media folder on your computer's hard drive. Drag the folder to the icon for your external drive to copy your iTunes media.

Finding lost application install keys is quick and simple with this handy executable, a complete rewrite of a well-received earlier version. Keyfinder Thing's simple, easy-to-understand interface has Wizard-like efficiency. This application quickly scans your system registry for 90 supported software titles and displays product names and icons in the result window.

You don't have rights to the folder. Right click the folder --> Select Properties --> Security --> Advanced --> Owner and then change the owner to your user. Here are some instructions from Microsoft for taking ownership. Once you own the folder then you can do whatever you want.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753659.aspx

Since I know you have a copy of openSUSE, I'll use openSUSE as the virtual machine. Of course, you can substitute any OS.

Open Virtual Box. Click on "New" and click next in the "create new virtual machine" box. In the "name" box give your VM a name, say, SUSE. The OS drop down should indicate Linux, and then select the version of the distro, usually openSUSE. Click next. Accept the default 512MB of memory and click next (you can change this later if need be.) Under the "Virtual Hard Disk" select "create new hard disk" and click next. Click next again in the "welcome to create a new hard disk wizard" box. Choose "dynamically expanding storage" and click next. In the virtual disk location and size, accept the default and click next OR click the folder icon and browse to a location that you want to use....this can be a completely different physical hard drive. In the "summary" page click finish.

Your newly created virtual machine will now show up in virtual box.

Here's where things get a bit tricky, and I suspect this is where you may be having a problem: With Virtual Box open, highlight your new virtual machine and click "settings". Give it a minute to come up. Click on "storage" in the left margin. Under the storage tree click "empty" to highlight it. Then, on the right side where it says CD/DVD device, click the drop down arrow next to "empty" and select Host Drive 'D" (or what ever your drive letter is). It is _crucial_ that you do this.

Alternatively, if you have downloaded an ISO file, you can click the folder icon next to the "empty" and point it to the ISO file. That way you don't have to burn the ISO file to CD.

After that, under "network" in the left column, select either "NAT" or "bridged adapter" so your virtual machine can get out to the internet.

Now all you have to do is place your copy of SUSE into your CD/DVD drive, ignore anything that comes up, then highlight your virtual machine in Virtual Box and click "start" and it will take you through the install as if it were a real harddrive. Enjoy.

The most logical reason for this problem to occur is because you're storing too many files in the ROOT of the external hard disk drive (HDD). The Windows file system can only manage a limited number of files (about 500) in the root of ANY drive. It is better to store those files in a FOLDER on the drive; Windows can manage an infinite number of files IF you store them inside a folder. Let's see if we can resolve this step-by-step:

1. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the external HDD (drive E:, drive F:, drive G:,or whatever letter it has on your system).

2. If the external HDD does NOT have a name (such as "WDMyBook01", or something else easy to remember), RIGHT-CLICK the letter of the external HDD; Windows will give you the option of creating a NAME for the external HDD.

3. Create a name for the external HDD, you can use any combination of letters or numbers, but NOT MORE than 11 characters in length. By creating a distinct name for your external HDD, you'll have an easier time remembering which MyBook drive has certain files on it. Be sure to do this for BOTH external HDDs.

4. Next, create a new folder in the ROOT of the external HDD; give it a simple SHORT name, such as "Folder01" (no quotes).

5. MOVE ALL OF YOUR FILES from the ROOT of the external HDD into the new folder you just created.

6. In the future, put ALL your files into a folder on the external HDD, so you can avoid experiencing this problem again.

7. As you've probably already guessed, it is also a good idea to avoid putting more than 500 files into the root of ANY HDD. SOME files MUST be stored in the root, because that is where Windows expects to see them, but don't add any of YOUR files, the ones you create or download, into the root of the drive.

8. This numerical limit also applies to USB flash drives and other storage devices. You avoid this problem the same way, by creating folders in the root of the drive and storing all files inside a folder.
